i think a big fault of this is patreon itself, donation sites shouldn't work on a tier system where the more you donate the more you get, it should be a pay what you wantsystem to support people.

the tier system overall makes it seem like you don't respect your fanbase, whether a fan donates $1 or $150 you should treat them the same, because that person is spending money to support you, they respect your work and want to seemore of it, And anyone who treats their fanbase like a cash cow is a terrible person. if you enjoy what you do, and love your fans you should treat them all the same even if they can't afford to donate $50 a month to you.
